Agriculture

Grain dust is the reason a lot of combustible dust regulation exists. The volumes are large, the material is explosive at concentrations you cannot see, and the equipment runs seasonally hard.

Grain pouring from a trailer onto a heap beside storage silos, dust lifting off the stream.

What we design for

  • High-volume grain, feed and seed dust with real deflagration risk
  • Explosion venting and isolation between the collector and occupied buildings
  • Long duct runs across elevators, legs and transfer points
  • Seasonal peak loads that punish an undersized system

How we approach it

Conveying velocity is not negotiable here — dust that drops out inside the duct becomes fuel sitting in a confined space. We size runs to keep material moving and specify isolation so an event at the collector cannot propagate back into the building.

Every system is sized to your process rather than pulled from a catalog. We supply the collector, fabricate the ductwork and hoods in our own shop, and handle the mechanical install in-house — one crew from drawing to start-up.
